This question framed the 2026 VC & CEO Blended Parents’ Forum, hosted by KCA University’s Vice Chancellor & CEO on 5th February 2026, where parents and guardians were engaged as key stakeholders in advancing academic excellence, student welfare and institutional accountability.
The forum was anchored on one of KCA University’s core strategic pillars, stakeholder engagement which recognises parents and guardians as essential partners in delivering quality, student-centred higher education. Through structured dialogue, discussions focused on academic delivery, student welfare, career readiness and the University’s strategic direction, reinforcing the value of parent involvement in holistic student development.
Parents were acknowledged not only as sponsors of education, but as critical contributors whose insights and feedback inform institutional decision-making and continuous improvement. The engagement reinforced the University’s commitment to transparency, collaboration and shared responsibility in nurturing future-ready graduates.
Addressing the forum, Prof. Isaiah I. C. Wakindiki, PhD, EBS, emphasised that sustainable university success is built on strong stakeholder partnerships.
“Strong universities are built on trust, transparency and shared responsibility for student success. When parents and institutions work together, we create an environment where students can thrive academically and personally.”
He highlighted KCA University’s student-centred approach, supported by qualified faculty, modern learning infrastructure, robust student support systems and efficient programme delivery to ensure timely completion and seamless transition into the world of work.
The forum further reinforced the University’s commitment to holistic student development through academic excellence, innovation, co-curricular engagement, financial aid and career placement services.
Through the Parents’ Forum, KCA University continues to institutionalise stakeholder engagement as a strategic priority, strengthening collaboration with parents and guardians to sustain excellence in higher education and prepare graduates for a dynamic global environment.
